Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A project of Great Britain's Further Education Unit explored the role adult education colleges can play in facilitating access to the national vocational qualifications (NVQs) for learners with special needs and identifying barriers to NVQs for adults with special needs. The issues surrounding the current and planned changes to the NVQs are that: (1) people with disabilities have the most problems in accessing vocational training in a country where less than half the population obtain a vocational qualification; (2) predicted demographic changes will mean that people with special needs will be needed in the work force; (3) lecturers and trainers need to shift their thinking about the capacities and futures of people with disabilities; and (4) NVQ awards should be free of any barriers that restrict access to them. Five colleges were visited and staff from nine colleges attended a seminar to discuss the issues. Among the findings reported were that: (1) few colleges were providing NVQs for learners with special needs; (2) training toward NVQs was not generally seen as a primary method of employment preparation; (3) in some colleges, special needs staff were ignorant of NVQs and their role in helping learners gain employment; (4) most schools put special needs adults into existing slots rather than providing tailored programs; and (5) prevocational education and career exploration opportunities were seldom offered. Among the project's recommendations were that adults should receive NVQ credits for prior learning and credits for basic skills should count toward NVQs. (CML)
Download or read book A Struggle for Choice written by Jenny Corbett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1992. For disabled people and people with learning difficulties the transition from school to college, work or training can be stressful and frustrating; job choices are often restricted, and they face barriers which are beyond their control. This book is about their struggle for choice. It sets special needs in further education in a socio-political context. By exploring the concept of ‘transition to adulthood’ in terms of class, race, gender and disability differences, and relating it to social, economic and political influences, it seeks to challenge complacency and encourage dialogue and debate.
Download or read book Further Opportunities written by David Johnstone and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1995 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines how further education for students with learning difficulties and disabilities has emerged from an essentially elitist education system. It explores some of the issues shaping the entitlement to further education for these students in the 1990s. For many people the change that further education and training has undergone in recent years has been interpreted in terms of developing opportunities for student 'choice' and 'rights and entitlements'. Others, more sceptical, perceive a reduction of educational opportunity in favour of market-led notions of 'efficiency'. The book explores aspects of these concerns, including staff development and teaching and learning in this comparatively new area of work; tensions between further education and employment opportunities for students with learning difficulties and disabilities; and a cross-cultural perspective on attitudes and provisions.
